During the last decade, the hypothetical carcinogenic effects of mammography have lead to new technical developments in X-ray diagnosis and to the use of other imaging techniques such as ultrasonography (US), transillumination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Many preliminary studies were published but few clinical trials are really convincing. According to the definition of a diagnostic tool, none of these new modalities is supposed to supplant mammography in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Improvements are expected by digital mammography in the near future.

The mortality and incidence of cancer in three groups of workers with occupational exposure to ethylene oxide have been assessed. Eight cases of leukemia have occurred among 733 ethylene oxide-exposed workers compared with an expected 0.8 cases. Six cases of stomach cancer have been reported compared with 0.65 cases expected. These epidemiologic results provide support for an increased risk of malignancy in individuals with extended and intermittent exposure to low concentrations of ethylene oxide.

A capillary gas liquid chromatography method was established for the routine determination of fatty acid profiles from washed erythrocyte membranes. Only the five major fatty acids found in erythrocytes (palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids) had acceptable precision (CVs less than 10.0%) for use in establishing quantitative differences between groups of individuals. Reference values were established for the relative amounts of these five fatty acids in adults. Significant alterations in the relative concentrations of oleic and arachidonic acids were found after storage at +4 degrees C for 24 h, which has important implications in the study of changes in erythrocyte fatty acids in cancer and diabetes.

A decreased natural killer activity was observed in patients with lung cancer as the disease progressed. Surgical intervention results in its elevation at the IIId stage, while the application of cytostatics or irradiation are efficient at the IIId and IInd stages. Pronounced sensibilization of the peripheral blood lymphocytes in cancer patients to normal and cancer tissue antigens was demonstrated with the help of the leukocyte adhesion inhibition test.

Metastatic brain tumors from colorectal cancers are relatively rate. In previous reports, the incidence, ranged from 1.9 to 3.5 percent of all metastatic brain tumors. We reported 2 cases of metastatic brain tumors from colorectal cancers. Metastasis to the lung and liver were not found in 2 cases at the time of the diagnosis of the single brain metastasis. The CEA levels in the serum were highly elevated in these 2 cases. On a contrast-enhanced CT scan, tumors were equally demonstrated as high density and cystic, with a ring-like mass with surrounding brain edema. Brain metastases of colorectal cancer were discussed with a review of the literature.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most commonly occurring skin cancer in the United States with 85% of the lesions occurring in the head and neck region. Several risk factors have been identified but the most critical is cumulative light exposure in the ultraviolet B spectrum. Treatment of these lesions is variable and must be individualized as to the type and location of the tumor, the status of the individual patient, and the skill and experience of the operator.

COUNTRY: UNITED STATESTITLE: Common cytogenetic findings in gastric cancer.PUBDATE: 19870101
Cytogenetic analysis was performed in five cases of intestinal type gastric carcinoma. Three cases were near-diploid and two others were near-triploid. The chromosomes involved were: #9 (four cases), #8 (three cases), #1, and #7 (two cases each). The nonrandom chromosomal abnormalities included aberrations of chromosome #9 as trisomy or i(9q) or 9p+ marker chromosome and excess of 8q material (i.e., trisomy or i(8q) chromosome). Our results indicate that abnormalities of chromosome #9 are a common feature in a subgroup of intestinal type gastric cancers and that there are common cytogenetic abnormalities in gastric and large bowel cancer.

Adjuvant parenteral nutrition of tumor patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy offers many potential advantages. There are some randomized studies with few cases looking at the effect of parenteral nutrition on tumor response and toxicity. In an own prospective randomized study on parenteral nutrition of colorectal cancer patients an increase of tumor response, prolongation of survival, or reduction of toxicity could not be achieved. Published controlled studies are discussed in a literature review. Parenteral nutrition of tumor patients receiving chemotherapy is not principally advantageous and should be restricted to special clinical situations.

COUNTRY: UNITED STATESTITLE: Effective planning for office and outpatient chemotherapy administration.PUBDATE: 19890501
The trend in cancer care today is to successfully maintain the patient outside the traditional inpatient setting. This review has focused on some of the advantages and disadvantages in the administration of chemotherapy at home, the physician's office, and the ambulatory care facility. Effective planning for chemotherapy administration and the selection process for each of these settings depends on the needs of the patient and family. We can conclude that, although it is possible to use a combination of setting to maximize patient care, the ambulatory care concept provides broader choices for patients, families, and clinicians.
